Description Vincent Untz 2007-06-09 07:36:02 UTC 
In libwnck, I had this:

void wnck_pid_read_resource_usage (GdkDisplay        *gdk_display,
                                   unsigned long      pid,
                                   WnckResourceUsage *usage);

For some reasons, gtk-doc failed to get the name of the second argument (pid). Changing unsigned long to gulong makes it work.
Comment 1 Damon Chaplin 2007-06-11 12:21:17 UTC 
Yes, I can reproduce. Currently "gulong" and "unsigned long int" should work,
but "unsigned long" won't match. (See also bug 141869 for a similar issue.)

The regular expressions we use are too complicated, and when they're changed to
fix one issue they often break something else.

It would be good to split out the code that matches function arguments into
a separate function, and then try to simplify it (and write some test code
so we avoid regressions).
Comment 2 Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2007-07-15 11:06:06 UTC 
We have regular expressions that have "unsigned" in gtkdoc-mkdb, gtkdoc-mktmpl, gtkdoc-scan and gtkdoc-common.pl :/

I'll try to figure our which are the same one (or should be) and makrs them.

	* gtkdoc-mkdb.in:
	* gtkdoc-mktmpl.in:
	  Handle "unsigned long|unsigned short|signed long|signed short".
	  Fixes #445693.
